My favorite new Christmas CD this year is Raul Malo's holidy disc. Taylor Swift and Mindy Smith also have good new ones. As for the old stuff, I always dust off
Bruce Cockburn's Christmas project. The Roches also released a really good holiday offering a while back. But I usually mix in a little of James Brown's Christmas music with different various artist packages. We went to a party this year where they had a contest to match Christmas carols with their acronyms. All my music listening must have paid off because I took first place.
